Add dynamic naming to New+

[Everything2067]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I'm sorry for any wrong wording.

I would like adding a feature to New+ such that if I create a template with the name 'x', the files/folders inside it can also be named depending upon the name 'x'

Currently, I have created a template named Python Project:

Python Project/
├──.venv/
├──python-project/
├────python-project.py
└────main.py

If I use New+ to create this template and rename it foo-bar:

foo-bar/
├──.venv/
├──python-project/
├────python-project.py
└────main.py

If this were a thing, and I rename it foo-bar, then:

foo-bar/
├──.venv/
├──foo-bar/
├────foo-bar.py
└────main.py

Edit: Notice how the file main.py and .venv have not changed

It would also be great if the contents inside the files would be changed.

Scenario when this would be used?

This would be great for those who have project templates like these, and they wouldn't have to rename everything manually

Hi @Everything2067,

Thanks a for the feedback and detailed example.

And I think this is a great idea. I've already added this support a while back in the New++ version of New+ that's included in the Productivity Plus Pack where you can have additional variable resolution such as "Python project called {{project_name;label=Project name;default=foo-bar}}" and that will rename files within the folders such as "Markdown file for {{project_name}}.md" and that also includes the content of those files where you have "{{project_name}}" within the files themselves.

I'm currently not planning on porting this to New+ in PT, but, love to get your feedback on the PPP version and also what you thoughts are on the PT version.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback/idea and sorry about the late reply.
